Syrniki (Dairy-Free & Egg-Free Tofu Fritters)

Ingredients

• 1 package (14 oz) Firm tofu, pressed
• 0.5 cup Semolina
• 2 tbsp Flaxseed meal
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Sunflower oil
• 0.5 cup Vegan sour cream
• 0.5 cup Jam

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 package (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed, into a medium bowl and crumble it with your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. 2Add the 0.5 cup semolina, 2 tbsp flaxseed meal, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 0.25 tsp salt to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
3. 3Mix everything together with a spoon or your hands until a cohesive dough forms. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This allows the semolina and flaxseed meal to absorb moisture and thicken the mixture.
4. 4Shape the dough into small, round patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should have several patties.
5. 5Pour the 2 tbsp sunflower oil into a large non-stick skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). The oil is ready when it shimmers slightly.
6. 6Carefully place the syrniki patties into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are a deep golden brown and appear cooked through.
7. 7Remove the cooked syrniki from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve the syrniki warm with 0.5 cup vegan sour cream and 0.5 cup jam.
